[0002] Tea screening is a vital part of the tea processing process. Its core purpose is to achieve a detailed classification of tea quality through accurate grading. This process effectively classifies tea leaves based on their physical properties (such as size, shape and density) and visual characteristics (such as color and gloss) to ensure that each grade of tea can be properly identified and collected.

However, the existing screening lines are often unable to achieve multi-level fine classification of tea. This limitation not only affects the stability and consistency of tea quality, but also restricts the precise market positioning of high-end products, thus bringing negative effects on the overall market competitiveness.
